Golden Orbs?

[WhyNotZoidberg]

How do you get them? The golden orbs, which you need for smithy lvl 2. Never seen one, killed the lich, tried all building combos and such. Is it just not yet in the demo or is it a random reward for something?

Keep killing Lich, they appear in his resource drop after death but aren't guaranteed. It took 11 or 12 kills for me to afford upgrade.

oooooooooooooooohhhh.

Ok, after 3 kills I got a bit annoyed and just assumed they weren't part of the demo. Thanks man!

also I'm pretty sure you have to kill the Lich on loop 11 or later to get the rare orbs to drop.

Good to know, but certainly not the issue. I kill him around 16ish, usually

I've only started to properly log my kills and maps but
1) I rarely kill after loop 10 and I still got plenty of the 3 rare orbs
2) The two maps I've done today were at loop 7->8 and 8->9 and both dropped rare orbs.

One thing I'm wondering is how much the added lich paths have that might or not impact the loot. I highly doubt it!... but I'm logging them too just in case ahah. In those two runs it was +1 and +4.

Edit: Just found out there's a fourth rare orb type I didn't get before and even a fifth one to upgrade. So far that's astral, afterlife, craft and unity that I have plus at least one more green one aka Evolution (thanks Hydroponicus!).

huh, very good to know, thanks for the insight.

wow, good to know that it doesn't have to be past loop 10. So far I've gotten those four and one evolution orb. I'm stuck on one orb of crafts.

i got a gold orb not that long ago on loop 6 seeing as iv killed him on loop 6 the last like 15 times and not gotten anything of value except that single gold orb
maybe the rates are increased on further loops?
